WordPress

WordPress, the world's largest and most popular publishing platform, is what I choose to power most of the websites I build. Everything from image galleries to eCommerce can run on WordPress.

WordPress is my publishing platform of choice. It puts content management in my clients’ hands.  It is an open-source project with an army of developers constantly working to improve and evolve it. Another benefit of utilizing WordPress is the availability of free and premium third-party plugins that add extra functionality without the associated costs or lengthy development time of custom programming. Need an image gallery? Easy! With a few clicks, and a bit of time structuring it to your needs, you have control over a beautiful gallery. Plugins are available for nearly any type of functionality you can imagine.


Custom Theme Development

I can create custom WordPress themes that match any functionality or goal. Utilizing a pre-designed theme isn’t always the best idea. By trying to fit your goals and requirements into a pre-existing structure you are limiting yourself to convention. And who want to use the same theme as hundreds of other website out there? I sure wouldn’t. Uniqueness is important in the web design world. Once we have decided the goals of your site’s users and the goals of your stakeholders, I can custom design and code a WordPress theme to match you and your users’ needs.


Hand-Coded Themes

So you have a site that you would like converted to WordPress? No problem! I can take any pre-existing site or design and code it into a WordPress theme in no time. I will also make recommendations to help optimize and enhance your site’s design in the process. If you are a developer who needs a strong designer for WordPress, or a designer who doesn’t quite get the whole ‘code’ thing, feel free to contact me for an estimate on work performed for those in the trade.

Beyond his skill as a designer and web developer, Patrick is an absolute pleasure to work with. His personable and energetic nature is something I've rarely seen in working with a designer, and he is enthusiastic to convey not only good design, but the philosophy behind it.
